Thank you for commenting…I do truly appreciate it, but would like to point out that the lines “acrid aroma or fragrance divine” does not reference perfume, those metaphors reference unpleasant and pleasant memories respectively…Again, many thanks!

Thank you for letting me know that there seems to be some confusion about the interpretation of my poem..My thoughts in the writing of it and the partcular use those metaphors are that the “branding” or (instilling) of all memories “acrid aroma or fragrance divine” ( unpleasant or pleasant memories) are in fact adhered to the memory sector of the brain in the exact same manner. Please let me apoligize for any conflict my writing may have imposed upon you…

In truth, I was worried that the poem had somehow offended you…but, I’m really glad to know it didn’t…sorry if it did somehow bring forth any bad memories for you…Many well wishes to you for the New Year!
